This weeks cap comp is again taken from the Olympic Games in Athens. Here we find a rather bizarre scene at the closing ceremony as Canada's athletes enjoy a lap of honour seemingly unaware a blue nymph is circling above them. Not only that but some rascal amongst the Canadians seems to be absconding from the Games with a huge Greek pillar. Tell us what you think is going on as the Games draws to an crazy close. The winner of this week's cap comp is Jim Cochrane from Portsmouth (Mark Tiernan will be very pleased with this!) who made us chuckle with this witty one liner: Canada win the most unusual kite gold medal Well done Jim, a BBC goody bag is on its way down south! A new cap comp will be published on Monday.
